Myth: Smelly poos are a sign of poor health

But diet is an influence and eating more vegetables can help alleviate the stench.

Meat, dairy, garlics and some veggies, including kale and cabbage are high in sulphur, which can increase the stink.

Junk food, which are hard to digest, can also lead to a nasty smell.

Myth: Healthy people poo once a day

A daily bowel movement isn’t necessary to maintain a healthy tum.

Enid said: "Any frequency is healthy as long as it isn’t impacting your quality of life or it isn’t brought on by food intolerances."

It’s common for people to empty their bowel once a day, however it’s still normal for this to be more or less often. Being regular means that soft yet well-formed bowel motions are easily passed anywhere from one to three times a day to three times a week.

You should, however, keep a look out for any changes in your movements and see a doctor if they last more than six weeks.
